This is totally bad. We need close to a 100% for v6 to make any sense. 20% IPv6 is pretty pointless.

What's going to drive this further is that the cost of supporting IPv4 will increase more and more as IP-space is exhausted and ISPs will have to apply new hacks like CGN. At that point getting people to IPv6 and IPv6-only will be a purely be about economics.
- Symbiote 9y agoFor a large ISP, that's 20% less traffic through their very expensive, slow CGN system.
